I recently finished this show. Now I'd like to review it.

Story: 10/10

This show starts off pretty slow and average, but it really picks up at the end of the first arc and gets astonishingly good when the phantom troupe arc comes along. The characters, that get introduced during this arc, are simply amazing. What seemed like a light-hearted typical shounen, with some subversions, now seemed a lot more serious and intriguing. The following Greed Island arc, was, in my opinion, a lot worse. The villains aren't very good and I didn't really like the setting. This gets overshadowed pretty quickly though, when the chimera ant ... arc begins. If you're an anime fan, it's very unlikely, that you've never heard of this. The instant change in atmosphere is very apparent, and I love it! The things that happen during this part of the show, are spectacular and it is here, where you really notice, that this isn't a typical shounen. I'm not going to say anything more, since I don't want to spoil anything and I don't want to make this review too long. The arc, that is currently the latest one that was animated, was also really good, but I don't have anything special to say about it.

Art: 9/10

The artstyle in the anime is nothing special, but it is pretty good. The reason I gave this section a 9 is for the animation. The animation is nothing short of beautiful and, at some points, breathtaking. It is consistently good and deserves a high score.

Sound: 10/10

I don't remember a lot about the soundeffects in this show, but the score is just amazing. It has so many beautiful tracks and it really improves the enjoyment of each scene. There are some tracks, which aren't originals, like Mozart's Lacrimosa, but they do fit the arc it is played in really well, so this doesn't decrease the rating. One other thing I want to mention is, that the track called "Riot" is a variation of "Dies Irae", also from Mozart's Requiem, which I find really cool!

Character: 10/10

There's a lot of characters in this show, that I have grown to love. There are a lot of great character arcs and the relationships between these characters feel extremely real. These characters make it much easier to watch this show, since you get invested in them really quickly. The other thing I have to say, is that the villains in this show feel like actual characters and not just like obstacles.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I really enjoyed this show. It only took me about 2 weeks to watch all of the 148 episodes, and I felt like it could've gone on for another couple hundreds of episodes. It doesn't feel like a drag at all.

Overall: 10/10

Overall this show is great! It was a very nice experience watching all of it, there's no filler at all and the plot goes from really good to amazing. If you like Anime, I really recommend watching Hunter x Hunter, you're most likely to enjoy it very much.
